My wife and I, both being office workers, use a station near our house to take a local train that connects to JR\u2019s Tokyo-bound trains at the local hub station. \u00a0<\/p>\nMy wife and I, both being office workers, use a station near our house to take a local train that connects to JR\u2019s Tokyo-bound trains at the local hub station. \u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThis type of train is excessively air-conditioned, isn\u2019t it?\u201d
\n\u201cI\u2019ve never noticed a house like that over there.\u201d<\/p>\n
While we were having chitchats like these one morning on the train, I happened to notice a grasshopper desperately clinging to the outer side of the train window. It apparently was trying to survive the hardship with its head turned in the direction of the train to minimize the headwind pressure. Its frontal antennae, which sticked longer than its body, were on the brink of being torn apart as the wind was pulling them backward.<\/p>\n
\u201cDoes it seem to be having fun?\u201d
\n\u201cNo way. It must be having a fear.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDoes it have a brain for feeling a sense of horror?\u201d
\n\u201cWell, I wonder what it is thinking now.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat a strange landscape!\u201d \u201cThe speed is so damaging.\u201d
\n\u201cIt seems to be suffering as it has lost one of its feet.\u201d<\/p>\n
As we continued increasingly meaningless conversation, we became more focused on talking about what the grasshopper was seeing and how it was feeling the situation.<\/p>\n
\u201cLook!\u201d<\/p>\n
As the train was about to arrive next to the terminal station, the grasshopper flied away as if to fall off the window.<\/p>\n
We didn\u2019t know whether it intentionally left or simply fell off. Grasshoppers have their own world, which we humans can\u2019t understand. Then I came to realize countless different worlds exist around us.<\/p>\n
Talking about the world and universe, I wonder which one implies vaster space?\u201d<\/p>\n
